OK maybe I should have added this to the original post so here goes.
Yes, I tried a different piece of coax (twice) that was in service on a higher
band just to make
sure. All three pieces were virtually brand new JSC RG-8X less than 25' long.
The FT-100 has had the mods performed by Yaesu while under warranty.
I have used the FT-100 on other antennas (after mod) and do not get the SWR
icon.
During the contest I used the FT-100 on my 1/4 whip on the trunk and had no
problems.
Yes, I like the antenna and am going to buy the 222 now that I have 222 in my
FT-736. I'm sure
that something has just come loose that is within my skill capablities, I just
need to find out
how to get into the "black box" and fix it without tearing the black box up.
